Rome wasn't Built In A Day
I was walking down 5th avenue
Shopping for a little something new
I was checking my hair in the window glass
That's when I first noticed you
You were standing on the corner Looking so cool
With you're hat pulled over one eye
I thought to myself “He's way out of my league”
But You don't get if you never try
So I powdered my nose and I blew myself a kiss
“I'll never get a date looking like this”
So I put on some rouge and painted my lips
Plumped up my hair and waggled my hips
Went strolling on by like this was the norm
But he never looked up from his racing form
I'll have to go around again, what do ya say?
Coz Rome wasn't built in a day
When I got home later that day
There was a note pushed under my door
I opened it up and read it out loud
It was then that I almost fell to the floor
It said “ I saw you walking by like you do most days”
But you've never ever seem to notice me
I went weak at the knees and I read the note again
I'm as happy as a single girl could be
It said “I bought a new suit, I bought a new hat
I waited on the corner for you”
“I watched you do your make-up in the window glass
But I was far to shy to make my dreams come true”
“So how's about you meet me at Danny's at Eight
I'll be waiting there for you so please don't be late”
“We'll take it nice and slow, what do ya say?
Coz Rome wasn't built in a day, Oh yes
Rome wasn't built in a day”
